Towing on 22s

I have 285/35R22 Toyo Proxes STII (great all around tire BTW) and i was wondering if anyone here has any experience towing on a 22 inch rim. The tire is rated for the load i'll be pulling (no more than 3500lbs) so i'm not worried about anything from that direction, mostly just curious about exp from you guys. Should i fill them up to max psi (50psi)? Leave it around 35-40psi? Level of suspension: high, normal, low (where i usually have it set)? how about firmness of damping: comfort, normal, sport?

Any help, advice, whatever...

FYI, i'm driving from Salt Lake area to Seattle area (all freeways) towing a small two horse trailer with one horse in it and the Pepper full of junk (clothes, etc). Finally moving back home!

Thanks.

User "Kevin M" was probably the first 6speeder and one of the first people with a Cayenne to put Techart 22's on way back in 2004. He also happens to tow his track car and boat with it on a regular basis. I also know he has 285/35/22 tires on his car from what I can remember...and he raved about how well the car towed!

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions I would shoot him a PM. Hes a nice guy to talked to and answered a lot of questions I had way back in the day about modding our cars. Hes very knowledgeable.
